Clinton Global Initiative

President Bill Clinton launched the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)
in 2005 as a non-partisan catalyst for action, bringing together a
community of global leaders to devise and implement innovative
solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

As a non-profit, 501(c)(3) endeavor of the William J Clinton Foundation ,
CGI draws strength from a highly diverse membership base that
represents the full spectrum of political, ideological, religious,
ethnic, and geographic backgrounds. Members include current and former
heads of state, top business executives, preeminent scholars, and
representatives of key non-governmental organizations working together
for a common cause.

The defining characteristics of the Clinton
Global Initiative are its action-oriented nature and its track record
of converting pioneering ideas into viable solutions with tangible
results. CGI members develop ‘commitments to action’, focusing on
practical, effective problem-solving measures that can be taken now.
Member commitments are comprehensive, formal plans of action with
timetables for evaluating progress. They are developed within one or
more CGI areas of focus, which change annually to address the most
imperative global issues requiring attention. We have designated
education, energy & climate change, global health, and poverty
alleviation as the areas of focus for 2007.

Jack D Hidary is a founding member of CGI.
